  • The concept of SIL is applied in the most of all standards relating to functional system safety. However there are problems for the people to apply SIL to their plants. as these standards don't include sufficient informations. In this regards, this paper will suggest the direction of SIL application and concept based on IEC 61508 and IEC 61511. A Safety Integrity Level(SIL) is the discrete level(one out of possible fours), corresponding to a range of the probability of an E/E/PE (Electric/Electrical/Programmable Electrical) safety-related system satisfactorily performing the specific safety functions under all the stated conditions within a stated period of time. SIL can be divided into the target SIL(or required SIL) and the result SIL. The target SIL is determined by the risk analysis at the analysis phase of safety lifecycle and the result SIL is calculated during SIL verification at the realization phase of safety lifecycle. The target SIL is determined by the risk analysis like LOPA(Layer Of Protection Analysis), Risk Graph, Risk Matrix and the result SIL is calculated by HFT(Hardware Fault Tolerance), SFF(Safe Failure Fraction) and PFDavg(average Probability of dangerous Failure on Demand). SIL is applied to various areas such as process safety, machinery(road vehicles, railway application, rotating equipment, etc), nuclear sector which functional safety is applied. The functional safety is the part of the overall safety relating to the EUC and the EUC control system that depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PE safety-related systems and other risk reduction measures. SIL is applied only to the functional safety of SIS(Safety Instrumented System) in safety. EUC is the abbreviation of Equipment Under Control and is the equipment, machinery, apparatus or plant used for manufacturing, process, transportation, medical or other activities.

  • Background: This paper describes the development of a scale for measuring safety climate. Methods: This study was conducted in six manufacturing companies in Iran. The scale developed through conducting a literature review about the safety climate and constructing a question pool. The number of items was reduced to 71 after performing a screening process. Results: The result of content validity analysis showed that 59 items had excellent item content validity index (${\geq}0.78$) and content validity ratio (> 0.38). The exploratory factor analysis resulted in eight safety climate dimensions. The reliability value for the final 45-item scale was 0.96. The result of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the safety climate model is satisfactory. Conclusion: This study produced a valid and reliable scale for measuring safety climate in manufacturing companies.

  • The aim of this study is to survey and analyze the safety perception and attitude of the construction managers for the purpose of contributing to the construction industry accident prevention by inducing safety behaviors of managers. The data analysis found that there were significant differences on safety perception and attitude depending on job positions. This survey found that job position and career affect the safety perception and attitude of manager. Further analysis revealed job position has more an effect on it than career. Therefore, in order to improve the safety perception and attitude of managers, it is effective to put managers more responsibility on safety.

  • In this paper, we analyzed the present status of the safety manager and safety assurance aspects through a complex analysis on the operational aspects, marketability and electrical safety aspects of photovoltaic power generation facilities. In the analysis of the equipment status, we analyzed the status and operated status of the installed PV system in Korea and the correlation between the safety manager and the accident. In addition, we analyzed the direction of the ESS through the analysis of the installation status of the ESS, and applied it to the interpretation part of the ESS associated with the solar power generation. The status of the electric safety manager can be used to analyze the data for selecting the electric safety manager by capacity by analyzing the accident status, the electric safety manager operation status, the safety management time by capacity, and the electric safety manager market.

  • The safety of the railway system is important because the system is a mass transit system and the results of the accident are inconceivable. The railway system is operated by train operation system such as train control system. So the train control system requires safety critical characteristics. In the European railway, ETCS (European Train Control System) project has been finished to accomplish the interoperability of each national railway signaling system. According to the interoperability degree, ETCS levels are suggested. As the highest level, ETCS level 3 suggests a radio communication. Also recently urban railway system is operated by driverless and automatic train control system. In this circumstance, more safety is required than before in the railway system. In order to accomplish the safety of a system, the requirements considering safety have to be suggested. The requirement is a set of several functions such as general function, environment, safety etc. For the safety critical system, safety function is more important than any other functions. The safety functions are deduced by safety analysis. In order to perform the safety analysis, the system hazards have to be identified and then risk analysis for each hazard should be performed. The risk is related to the frequency and the severity of each hazard. And then countermeasures for each risk have to be prepared. The summary of the countermeasures is about a kind of safety functions in a system. In this paper, the safety functions for a train control system are presented according to the above procedure.

  • 항공안전관리를 위해서는 서비스제공자들의 안전성과를 측정하고 관리하기 위한 안전성과지표의 수립이 반드시 선행되어야 한다. 특히, 예방안전지표는 사고 및 준사고의 발생원인을 사전에 식별하고 이를 관리할 수 있게 하는 중요한 역할을 한다는 점에서 그 의미가 크다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 현재 국내 항공산업의 안전성과지표는 이미 발생한 사건에 기반한 후행지표에 초점을 맞추고 있다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 예측적 항공안전관리를 위한 예방안전지표를 구성하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 또한, 전문가의 검토와 AHP 분석을 통해 지표의 타당성과 중요성을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 상대적으로 연구가 부족했던 예방안전지표의 개발을 통해 국내 항공산업의 선제적인 안전관리를 지원할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

  • Korea has 17,500 irrigation dams and facing variety of causes that jeopardize dam safety. With limited resources available to manage large inventory, a portfolio risk analysis application method for numerous irrigation dam safety is essential. The purpose of this study is to find an optimum way to adopt the risk analysis to the large number of irrigation dams in Korea and to propose the portfolio risk analysis process for irrigation dams. In this study, the necessity of the risk analysis for reservoirs safety has been suggested and a phased process using pre-screening and screening methodology has been proposed. This proposed procedure will help to effectively introduce the risk analysis for reservoirs safety in Korea.

  • In the safety check of gravity dams at earthquake, there have been two types of analysis conducted simultaneously; one is stability analysis and the other stress analysis. But those are essentially the same calculation other than the former considers the dams rigid, while the latter considers the dams' dynamic characteristics which results in the amplification of response acceleration on the upper part of dam body. In this paper, the identity of those two methods is verified by example calculation in terms of stability check of gravity dam. It can be concluded that if stress analysis were performed, stability check of gravity dam could be accomplished with the results from stress analysis, removing unnecessary present dual calculation practice.

  • 오늘날 대다수의 안전필수 시스템들(Safety-Critical Systems)에는 컴퓨터, 전기 및 전자 부품이나 장치들에 소프트웨어를 칩에 내장하거나 제어용 소프트웨어 시스템이 탑재되어 구축되고 있다. 이에 따라, 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 내장하였거나 탑재한 시스템들의 안전성을 평가하기 위한 여러 가지의 결함 분석 기법들이 제안되어져 오고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어 결함 분석 기법들은 전통적으로는 하나의 안전필수 시스템을 분석하는데 단지 하나의 방법으로만 분석해 왔으나, 시스템의 종류와 특성이 다양해지면서 그 시스템에 가장 알맞은 결함 분석 기법이 동원되어야 함은 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는, 안전필수 시스템에서 소프트웨어의 크기가 비교적 작고, 안전성과 관련한 시스템 제어 반응 시간이 특별히 민감하지 않는 소프트웨어의 안전성을 평가하는 방법으로 결함트리 분석(FTA)과 소프트웨어 고장 유형 및 영향 분석(FMEA)을 결합한 시스템 결함 분석 방법을 제안하고 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 시스템을 이용하여 사례연구를 수행하고자 한다.
